Fyffe man died from injuries in north Alabama crash

A Fyffe man died Tuesday from injuries he received last week in a two-vehicle crash.

Senior Trooper Brandon Bailey of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said the incident happened at about 2:50 p.m. Friday on Alabama 72 near Dekalb County 72, approximately two miles south of Rainsville in Dekalb County.

James R. Posey, 68, was critically injured when the 2003 Ford F-150 he was driving struck a 1996 Ford F-350, driven by Rickie D. Nance, 70, of Fyffe.

Nance was also injured, and both were transported to Dekalb Regional Hospital for treatment. Posey was not using a seat belt at the time of crash, Bailey said.

Posey was pronounced dead at Erlanger Baroness Hospital in Chattanooga.

Troopers with ALEA’s Highway Patrol Division continue to investigate.
